AUDUBON, PA — Globus Medical Inc. completed its acquisition of Synaptive Medical on Aug. 4, 2026, through a court-appointed receivership process, expanding the Audubon-based medical technology company’s position in cranial neurosurgery and adding surgical visualization, navigation and imaging capabilities to its existing technology portfolio.
The transaction strengthens Globus Medical’s presence in a specialized surgical market and creates opportunities to integrate Synaptive’s technologies with the company’s Excelsius platform, which supports technology-assisted surgical procedures.
Synaptive develops medical technologies used in complex cranial procedures, including surgical planning systems, visualization equipment, navigation tools and magnetic resonance imaging technology.
The acquisition gives Globus Medical additional capabilities across multiple stages of neurosurgical treatment, from preoperative planning and imaging to navigation and visualization during surgery.
It also brings established relationships with neurosurgical centers, providing an opportunity for Globus Medical to expand its reach among surgeons and health care institutions.
“This acquisition builds on the foundation we have established in cranial neurosurgery and accelerates our growth in this important market,” Globus Medical President and Chief Executive Officer Keith Pfeil stated.
“Synaptive brings proven surgical planning and visualization technology, as well as relationships with leading neurosurgical centers, and we see a clear opportunity to combine these solutions with our enabling technology expertise to serve more neurosurgeons and their patients.”
The transaction was completed through a court-appointed receivership, a legal process in which a receiver oversees assets under court authority.
For Globus Medical, the immediate operational priority is maintaining service and support for hospitals and surgical centers already using Synaptive equipment.
The company has begun contacting customers and other stakeholders while establishing support arrangements for Synaptive’s installed systems.
Those efforts are intended to maintain continuity for existing users as Globus Medical determines how to incorporate the acquired business into its broader commercial operations.
The company is also finalizing its long-term commercial strategy for Synaptive’s products.
Globus Medical plans to explore integrated procedural solutions combining Synaptive’s surgical planning, visualization and navigation capabilities with its Excelsius technology ecosystem.
Such integration could allow the company to offer a broader range of connected technologies supporting cranial surgical procedures.
The acquisition extends Globus Medical’s existing musculoskeletal technology business into a wider range of neurosurgical applications, strengthening its portfolio of systems designed to assist surgeons with complex procedures.
The transaction also provides a platform for further development of integrated cranial surgery technologies as Globus Medical expands its presence in the neurosurgery market.
